Having been back from holiday for couple of days, but always felt tired when I want to begin with a blog for my May holiday trip. Now, I end up my laziness here begin to writhe an article about my trip.
We arrived at Luoyang late in the morning at 10 o'clock after sitting on the narrow sit for 18 hrs. When came out of the station, the first thing we did was going to the ticket office to check if there were any ticket left for our journey back. I got one back to Shanghai but Urecca failed to get a ticket to Jinan. We can't do anything but to try our fortune latter, for it was Golden May holiday. So, directly, we hopped a taxi to the hotel. There's proverb means hit one when one is down, the business man carried out the proverb perfectly. The price of a standard room hiked to 350 from 190 at the peak season. Anyway, we had to check in, because we have heard the taxi driver depicted the shortage of rooms here.
In Luoyang - The Snacks
We started off at noon after a shower to alleviate the weariness. We had discussed and decided to stay in the city the first day to recover before we went to Shaolinsi Temple and Longmen Grottoes. But the biggest thing is to appease our hunger with some little delicious local snacks. So we jump into a bus and headed to the downtown, hoping to get ourselves jammed and pay a visit to the old streets in passing. Living in a capital of nine dynasties of ancient China, people here haven't forget the honor. In many names of places and streets here, we can feel the memory honor and the aspiration of the recovery of ancient majesty. There are Emperor Highway and Emperor Square here. We got off at Emperor Square. The square to Luoyang is just like People's Square to Shanghai, a downtown landmark. We bought a map and did our lunch at a busy alley near the bus station. We had Chinese Hamburg (Rou Jia Mo), local noodle (Hutu Mian). The snack was not that delicious as I had estimated, the "Hamburg" is too salty and the noodle tasted strange, a little acid. But, It didn’t matter, for we still have 3 days to discover the delicious.
Seems delicious, and we decided to have a try.
